.....ahhh, can you plan my trip?

Don't you just hate it when you hit that dead zone between planning and leaving? I've still got 84 days to go and all I can do is haunt these boards!

Yes, I do! I have a basket that I've started putting vacation-related stuff into a laundry basket because I can't start packing yet....

I keep adding to the packing list....I'm sure I'll forget something if I don't.

This will be my DS's first trip to thw World, and I don't know who's more excited...DH says it's me!

LOL! That is almost the hardest time

Put your card in to hold the mail, stop the newspaper and be prepared to start doing the HAPPY DANCE!

Thats a great idea. We will have 3 traveling by car and 2 by plane. The car the luggage all 5 of us except the carry on luggage that we do not have to pay extra for on the plane. We will be packing as light as possible since we will have a washer/dryer in the room.

My suit cases do not hold very much.
I could take a laundry basket or large plastic container with lid and get more packed in it than a suitcase and also use it to start packing in now.

Would I look to weird carrying in a large plastic container into the resort?

Not hardly. You wouldn't believe what some people carry into their rooms.

Seriously, though, I've seen lots of people who have used Rubbermaid plastic bins as storage when travelling by car. Great for corralling all the non-clothes stuff that we find so vital to Disney survival, and really easy to access when you have to stop while on the road.

I assume you booked a package if you're not including park tickets in that.

You have a washer and dryer in the car?

Tee hee That statement (read before my morning coffee) has given me the funniest mental images!

I have just edited that post incase anyone is wondering what we are talking about.
I think I need the coffee in the morning instead of this tea I have been drinking.

what about stopping at the bank to get some one dollar bills and quarters for the toll booths. I put the quarters in an empty medicine bottle and use a larger coin purse to stash both the $1 and the quarters in so I know exactly where they are and put it in the glove box.

Thanks for reminding me!! I used to use an empty film cannister for this. Then I stopped using film Hadn't thought about using an old prescription bottle. Genius.

Another use for old (larger size) prescription bottles: they're great for holding your emergency sewing kit: needles, safety pins, Assorted colored threads wound around a piece of cardboard, a couple of buttons.

Are Bodyglide and Moleskin on your packing list?

I've made all the mousekeeping envelopes and filled them. I went to 2 banks and could not get new crisp $1 bills

I don't need tolls (flying) but I do need quarters and pennies for the pressed penny machines! Think the bank would get suspicious if I asked for brand new shiny pennies?

Yes!
